The artwork features a detailed depiction of a peacock, centralized on a soft, delicate fabric that appears slightly crumpled, adding texture to the visual narrative. The peacock, renowned for its intricate and mesmerizing plumage, is rendered with careful and deliberate lines, showcasing the array of eye-spotted feathers spreading outward in a grand and imposing display. The monochromatic palette of the artwork heightens the intricate detailing and the expressive quality of the bird’s majestic presence. Overall, the piece delicately balances realism and artistic interpretation, encapsulating the essence of feminist themes through its profound and evocative portrayal.
